It’s time to end. It’s empty. , It was pointless. , It was painful. Professional networking. For good!

When I wanted a date to my senior prom, I put a personal ad in our high school newspaper.

I was too afraid to ask people to the dance.

I was destined for failure in professional networking.

People who know me today wouldn’t know that I was very shy as a child.

It is. still It’s hard to meet new people. I faceplant if I don’t go into an introduction fully prepared. And often end up making. zero If not, the impression. It was bad. One.

Networking events used to be the same. I would try to make a good first impression. I tried not to look bad. I wouldn’t be myself. I would be a silent nobody.

I wasn’t memorable.

I didn’t make connections, I didn’t form relationships, I didn’t get business from being there, and I wasn’t getting paid!

At my first major professional networking event for my own consulting business, I got a deal from the company I already knew. I didn’t get any new business out of it.

I can attend a networking event full of potential clients and pick a room. I will line up leads who are willing and able to have conversations with me.

I found a simple secret. There was a secret that more than doubled the leads and new projects I was getting. Without improving my skills or the value of my service.

Since it boosted my confidence, my deal flow and fees have increased even more.

I have a secret tool for successful business and professional networking.

Here is the thing. I gave up at one point. Not quite gave up completely. If I had given up completely, I wouldn’t be writing this today. Rather…

I stopped doing things the old way. It was decided to try something new.

There are multiple options, some free, others cheap, and a really easy-to-use online tool that I discovered. I had an idea about how to use that tool at the networking event.

I used this tool to create a process. I tested it. It is a unique process that I layer on top of the tool.

The result? I got 9 high-quality contacts and 2 clients in a room where I normally get 3-6 decent contacts.

Within a week, I had 7 booked calls.

That was when I recorded. Roy Furr has a networking secret. . When it was fresh in my mind. I created all that opportunity when I made all those critical contacts.

My entire year of business was booked, from clients willing to pay me more than ever before.

It changed the way I do networking. I can walk up to the best clients today. I have complete confidence in what I will say and how it will go.

I know how to turn quick networking chats into follow-up phone calls and big business deals.

I never give out business cards. Neither do any high-level people.
